Splicing 3 wires to one
06/21/23 at 12:56:13
 
While figuring out a short with my right turn signals, which I traced to a pinched and bared turn signal wire, I discovered that the previous owner spliced the heck out of a bunch of wiring to add fog lights. I want to clean up all the splices with connectors but I’m not sure what to use to splice three wires to one. I added the pic of the wires. Thanks for the help!

I am a big fan of these:

Put two wired in one end and one wire in the other end.

You will need a decent heat gun to use them.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

It appears the splice was made into the headlight wiring.  White is the low beam, yellow is the high beam.....black is ground.

I bought a kit from Vintage Motorcycle Connectors.  It works very well and you cannot tell the crimped connections you make fro the factory ones.....the bullet connectors are well made and the crimping tool works great and is quick to master.

For connecting multiple wires you can either crimp a few of them together, or install female connectors with multiple places to plug wires in:

Thanks for the help! I appreciate your time. Had no clue about the world of electrical connectors. I found a three into one connector on Amazon. Would these be safe to use on a bike?

Looks like a WAGO block. I’d go with the connector Dave recommended. I use them all the time.
